India Canada Tension Escalates: Canada updates travel advisory for India

Canada’s travel warning comes after India issued a similar warning to its citizens living in Canada and suspended visa services last week.

In the midst of a diplomatic crisis following the assassination of a Khalistani extremist, Canada has amended its travel advice for its people in India, advising them to “remain vigilant and exercise caution.” “Protests demanding safety and security; entry and departure requirements – visa services suspended.

As the diplomatic row over the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader threatened to snowball into a major confrontation, India advised all its citizens living in Canada and those considering visiting to exercise “utmost caution” in light of growing anti-India activities and “politically-condoned” hate crimes in the North American country.
